Dottie Goes on Vacation

Hi guys! Dottie here! I hope you had the holliest, jolliest Christmas ever. I know I did. Anyway, I have some very exciting news: I’m going on vacation. As one of my Christmas gifts, Momma Dot is taking me to Iceland. Yes, ICELAND! I’m so very excited. It’s gonna be reeeeeeal cold, but I’m sure my happiness will warm me right up. I’ll be on vacation for two weeks, so I wanted to let me favorite Hokie audience know that I won’t be posting as much during those two weeks. Don’t worry, when I get back, I’ll share tons of pictures with you guys!

So far, we have a lot planned. We’ll be circumnavigating the entire country. I’ve already bought a Hokie hat (of course) and a really warm jacket to take with me. I’ll be going to this really cool (pun intended) place called The Blue Lagoon. It’s an outdoor spring that’s naturally heated by the earth. I can’t believe I’m going to be swimming in a pool when it’s below freezing outside! I get to go on glacier hikes and waterfall hikes too! It’s mostly dark in Iceland during the winter time, so I’ll most certainly be able to see the Northern Lights while I’m there. I cannot wait to witness such an awesome natural phenomenon.

I’m so excited to visit black sand beaches, hike the beautiful mountains, and stand underneath the most beautiful of night skies. This Hokie is one happy bird. Momma Dot isn’t a big fan of the cold, but she knows I’ve always wanted to visit Iceland. Deep down, she’s excited too. Anyways, Hokies, I have a plane to catch and a country to visit. Bless bless (that’s bye-bye in Icelandic).
